In the latest edition of The NYT’s “America in Focus” project, Trump voters in their late 20s and early 30s who said they “somewhat disapproved” of or had mixed views about the president’s performance were asked about their reasons why.

This is a bit of copium - the article is only reporting on the survey subset of young Trump voters who shifted enough to disapprove or had “mixed views” on Trump, and then choosing choice quotes to play to a narrative.

The bigger statistic is:

A Pew Research Center survey in August showed that 69 percent of Trump voters under 35 approved of his performance as president. While still a substantial number, it represents a dramatic 23-point decline compared to the start of his second term.

So Trump’s support in under-35s fell 23% since January. That’s significant, but amount Trump voters, 69% approval is still high and contradicts the narrative of the headline.
